What is Voice-Over-IP - VoIP?
Our pages that explain a little bit about it are at:
http://iglobalink.com/whatisvoip.htm and
http://iglobalink.net/voice_over_ip_facts.html
Basically, it's using the internet for phone calls, but you can use a
regular telephone at either or both ends of the call and it will work. Most
of the time, we work with the service where people use the special adapter
box, which they plug into their high-speed internet access, and then into a
regular telephone. You might want that for family or friends back home, but
I'm not sure if it would be practical for you guys to carry around the
little adapter box and find places will let you plug in....it's not very
big, but not sure how many places you go would have the high-speed
connection you'd need. Of course, if it was feasible to carry it with you,
then you could call for free from literally anywhere in the world where you
had high-speed internet access, so at least probably most cities. And then
you'd have a number which your family and friends could call you at for
free, or at least for the price of a US phone call.
You could use any telephone, and call into the call center, and then connect
to whatever number you want to call, pretty much like any calling card. The
best benefit on cost is whenever you happen to be in a local calling area
for the major cities that are our calling portals. The link that has all
those is at: http://iglobalink.com/calling_cards.htm.
But, you could still use it if you call into the 800# portal. And, you
could still save some money in some areas, like if you were in Malaysia: we
don't have a Malaysia number, but it would be cheaper to call a Singapore
number, which we do have, than to call the US directly.
By the way, one nice feature is that when people leave you voicemail at the
designated number, it will send an email to you with a wave file so you can
hear messages that way. So even if you were just at an internet café, you
could get your messages (probably cheaper than calling somewhere.) Some
people like the service just for this feature.
We also do web hosting, website marketing, etc. Basically, anything you see
on our main website at http://www.iglobalink.net/ is fair game.
